Case Study

From Sample to Saved Harvest: How EyouAgro’s Custom Solution Helped a Tunisian Olive Grove Conquer Hail

A Tunisian olive grower, Hassan, faced the technical challenge of needing non-standard 8.4-meter wide hail netting to protect his high-value crop. EyouAgro not only met this custom demand with a professional splicing solution but also earned the client’s trust through high-quality samples, leading to an initial 15-hectare order. In its first season after installation, the protection system successfully defended the entire orchard against a destructive hailstorm, resulting in zero losses while neighboring unprotected groves suffered heavily. This case powerfully demonstrates EyouAgro’s ability to deliver end-to-end, high-ROI solutions.

The client, Hassan, operates a commercial olive grove in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. As a signature high-value crop of the Mediterranean, the quality and yield of his olives directly determine the farm’s profitability. However, the increasing frequency of hailstorms in the region cast a significant shadow over the upcoming harvest season. Mr. Hassan urgently needed a supplier who could meet his specific dimension requirements and provide reliable protection when it mattered most.

The Challenge:

  1. Non-Standard Technical Demand: The orchard’s layout required 8.4-meter wide hail netting, a dimension far exceeding the standard width of conventional products, posing a significant challenge to a supplier’s manufacturing and technical capabilities.
  2. The Ultimate Test of Product Quality: Before investing a substantial amount, Hassan had to be 100% confident that the product’s strength, durability, and UV resistance could withstand the region’s harsh weather.
  3. Uncertainty of Investment Return: For any agricultural investment, the primary concern is its value. Hassan needed assurance that this investment would deliver a tangible economic return in the foreseeable future.

EyouAgro’s Solution:

EyouAgro’s Business Manager, Nicole, guided the client through a clear, phased process, resolving each concern to turn a complex inquiry into a successful partnership.

  1. Step 1: Building Trust with a Professional Plan & Samples. In response to the 8.4-meter width requirement, Nicole immediately provided a professional splicing solution. At the same time, she patiently guided the client through the international sample delivery process, allowing him to touch and test our product firsthand. The high-quality sample served as the first cornerstone of trust.
  2. Step 2: From Trust to an Order. After Hassan confirmed the sample quality, he confidently placed an order for the first phase of his project: 15 hectares of custom hail netting. Our factory’s production team utilized advanced splicing techniques to ensure every roll was both wide and robust, and the delivery was completed on schedule.
  3. Step 3: From Installation to Realized Value. After the product arrived, Hassan’s team smoothly completed the installation with guidance from EyouAgro. Shortly thereafter, an unexpected hailstorm struck the region.

The Result & Value:

After the hailstorm, the value of the EyouAgro solution was demonstrated in the most direct and powerful way.

  • Perfect Protection: While surrounding unprotected olive groves were severely hit with fallen fruit littering the ground, the 15 hectares covered by EyouAgro’s hail netting were completely unharmed.
  • Significant Economic Return: This successful protection saved Hassan from at least 30% of potential harvest loss, proving the immense value of his investment in a single weather event.
  • A Confirmed Long-Term Partnership: Having witnessed the product’s outstanding performance, Hassan expressed his sincere gratitude to Nicole and confirmed his plan to install EyouAgro netting on his remaining orchards in the next procurement season.

Conclusion:

A successful agricultural protection project is a complete journey, from building trust to realizing value. EyouAgro is committed to accompanying our clients every step of the way. We not only use our professional expertise to meet custom technical demands but also use our reliable product quality to safeguard our clients’ hard work at critical moments, ensuring every investment yields a bountiful and profitable harvest.

The Result in Their Own Words

"From the moment I received their sample, I had confidence in EyouAgro's quality. They perfectly solved our special requirement for an 8.4-meter width. When the hailstorm hit, our entire region suffered losses, but our 15-hectare orchard was completely unharmed. This is more than just a net; it's an insurance policy for a year of hard work. We plan to cover our remaining orchards next year."
